Understanding Pilot Vehicles
The function of a pilot vehicle or pilot car is to indicate to other road users that an oversized vehicle, oversized load, or both is in their presence. Pilot vehicles are affixed with a large sign intended to warm other drivers or road users of the presence of large vehicles and/or loads. This in turn promotes superior road safety. Utilising a pilot car when moving large loads is necessary for the safety of the driver, the load and other road users they may encounter.
Pilot Vehicle Qualifications
Our drivers hold level 2 ‘driver of pilot vehicles’ licenses through both Victoria Roads and the requisite interstate licensees. This means that our drivers are qualified to escort vehicles and loads of up to 30 metres in length and up to 4.5 metres in width. Within the Melbourne and Geelong Urban areas, two of our certified pilots are required to escort vehicles and loads of up to 35 metres in length and up to 5.5 metres wide. When travelling on a freeway outside of Melbourne and Geelong urban areas, only one licensed pilot is required for an escort of these measurements.
